Repeating this function disables the wind and sun sensor functionality: Press P2 on controller. Press UP on controller. Press STOP on controller. Motor Response Motor Response Motor Response 3.2 Wind speed control When the wind speed continuously exceeds the threshold value of wind speed (for longer than 3 seconds), the sensor command is executed to control the motor "UP" action. If the wind speed continously exceeds the threshold, the sensor sends the "UP" command every 1 minute until 14 times.To prevent the motorized shades from frequently opening and closing under a gust, the motor does not operate for next 8 minutes. ROLLEASE ACMEDA AutomateTM Programming Instructions | MT02-0301-072001 | 13 3.3 Light control · If the light control function is turned on, the sensor sends a command to trigger the motor to move DOWN when the environmental light intensity is higher than the threshold. After this period, the sensor temporarily disables its light detection for the next 15 minutes. · If the light control function is on, the sensor drives the motor UP when the light intensity continues to be less than the set value for 15 minutes. · Wind sensor trigger overrides light sensor, and moves motor up into top limit or tension, despite motor having moved down due to strong light.

After the sensor is powered on and a motor is paired to it, the sensor transmits an "UP" command immediately if the environmental wind speed is detected to be faster than the threshold. After 10 seconds, the sensor repeats the signal transmission ONCE. Its wind detection is disabled for another 3 minutes and the light control function is suspended for 15 minutes. Manual operation of pressing the "UP" and "SET" keys does not re-send the command transmission. 2. If the sensor detects strong light and wind, it transmits one command at least 5 times. Before its environment changes, the sensor suspends the signal transmission but still operates its normal functions such as the detection of light, wind and LCD functions. 14 | AutomateTM Programming Instructions | MT02-0301-072001 ROLLEASE ACMEDA 41 TSRTOAUTBICLETISTHLOEOTING Problem Motor is not responding Motor extends then constantly retracts unexpectedly Motor does not react to wind or light setting Cause Sensor battery is discharged Radio interference/Shielding Receiver distance is too far from transmitter Power failure Incorrect wiring Pairing error The motor's function of detecting wind/light is off Wind or light threshold is too low Extend motorized shade is casting shadow onto sensor Wind sensitivity is too high or too low Time interval of strong wind is less than 3 minutes Time interval of light is less than 15 minutes Remedy Recharge battery with a USB cable Ensure transmitter is positioned away from metal objects and that the motor aerial/receiver is kept straight and away from metal Move transmitter to a closer position Check the connection from power supply to motor Check if wiring is connected correctly Press UP button on sensor to verify pairing Turn on the function Increase the threshold to reduce sensitivity Check & reposition sensor if necessary Adjust sensitivity The wind triggering time length must be over 3 minutes The light triggering time length must be over 15 minutes ROLLEASE ACMEDA | USA 750 East Main Street, 7th Floor Stamford, CT 06902 T +1 00 552 5100 | F +1 203 64 0513 ROLLEASE ACMEDA | AUSTRALIA 110 Northcorp Boulevard, Broadmeadows VIC 3047 T +61 3 9355 0100 | F +61 3 9355 0110 ROLLEASE ACMEDA | EUROPE Via Conca Del Naviglio 18, Milan (Lombardia) Italy T +39 02 8982 7317 | F +39 02 8982 7317 info@rolleaseacmeda.com rolleaseacmeda.com ROLLEASE ACMEDA AutomateTM Programming Instructions | MT02-0301-072001 | 15Adobe PDF Library 15.0 Adobe InDesign 15.0 (Windows)
